Wang Ferng — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Developing volunteerism in individuals, particularly from childhood, is crucial for fostering a culture of social responsibility and civic engagement. Parents, teachers, peers, and the media play significant roles in shaping children's behavior and attitudes towards volunteering and community involvement. If these influential figures convey positive values such as public awareness, concern for common property, and empathy towards others on a regular basis, children are likely to internalize these traits. Moreover, it's essential to recognize that children's learning characteristics and interests evolve as they grow, necessitating tailored strategies for promoting volunteerism at different ages. Developers must organize activities and experiences that align with children's developmental stages and interests to effectively nurture their sense of social responsibility and engagement. Creating a generation of "Thai people 4.0" with public consciousness and environmental leadership is pivotal for Thailand's development beyond the middle-income trap. The youth, equipped with a strong sense of civic duty and environmental stewardship, will play a crucial role in achieving sustainable development goals, particularly in areas such as responsible consumption and production.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN TAIWAN (PCT) IN DIASPORA

Tsung Yuan Chen — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The geography of religion is a branch of cultural geography (Bottiglioni, 1954; Levine, 1986; Mcdavid Jr, 1986; Park, 2005). Since the 1980s, relevant research in Taiwan has focused mainly on the traditional religious sphere, lacking studies on foreign religions and the relationship between religions and languages. This study believes that language and religion are closely related. The primary reason for the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan’s (PCT) use of Taiwanese as its mission language at the initial period of its missionary work was that most people in Taiwan at that time did not know Han characters. After teaching them simple Roman scripts, they could read the Romanized Bible. However, following the end of World War II in 1945, Taiwan was ruled by the Kuomintang (KMT), and the language had been changed from Japanese and Taiwanese to Mandarin. The language policy in the 1970s even prohibited the use of Taiwanese. Since PCT continued to use Taiwanese, it had become a language island in Taiwanese society, which in turn affected its religious situation.
